My name is... Arena, Thommie, Creature, That Weird Girl Who Sits Behind Me In Math... I'm known to respond to pretty much everything.

I indentify as... Bisexual.

About my future... It's sort of undecided because my plans shift constantly. Currently, I have a desperate longing to go to U of T for Sexual Diversity Studies, After that, I plan on living in New York for a year because of an Allan Rickman pact I made when I was thirteen. I think after that I'd like to live in the village and hopefully get a job in queer rights activism.

Guest profile: Mishi

My name is... Mishi.

I identify as... femme bisexual.

I am attracted to... androgynous girls and sophisticated boys. I'm also a sucker for dark hair and glasses. Some of my biggest film crushes were Rhett Butler (Gone with the Wind), Aragorn (Lord of the Rings) and Dimitri (Anastasia, and the only cartoon boy on this list!).

10 adjectives to describe me... Organized, positive, vibrant, enthusiastic, loving, passionate, poised, pensive, playful, and valiant.

Queer street fashion

I'd like to eventually make queer street fashion a regular part of this blog, because I feel that outward presentation of sexuality and gender identity is fascinating and unique for everyone. Here are a few shots I took at last year's Pride Parade & Dyke March - you can click on them to see them larger.


I love this woman's adventurousness with color, all her many necklaces, her cool hippie vibe, her dog's matching collar, & the fact that she's kind of "dressing young" without looking unnatural at all. Absolutely gorgeous.


I was totally blown away by this girl (in the lamé). I can't imagine ever being as brave or as awesome as she is. Rock on, grrl.


The girls & I started referring to this cutie as "the little drummer dyke." She led the Dyke March with her ballin' beats. I love her crazy spiky hair & the fact that she looks incredible even in such casual, understated clothes. Also, right after I took this, I went up to her & told her I loved her drumming, & she gave me the most charmingly shy "thank you" ever.


Love the sandals! & yet more gold lamé. & of course the hair! Swoon.
